Any birthday party, no matter how lavish, is incomplete without a cake. While it is more common to see birthday cake ideas for women and children, there are birthday cake ideas for men as well. After all, men blow their birthday candles too.

Cook him a romantic dinner. Fix his favorite meal and light some candles.

Buy some sexy new lingerie and give him a night he will never forget.

Act out one of his favorite fantasies, especially if it’s one you have never done before.

Let him plan the entire day. Go to eat at his favorite restaurant, watch his favorite movie, and generally let him make all the decisions for once.

Feed him melted chocolate or ice cream in bed as a prelude to sex.

Buy him something you know he will really like. Yes, this sounds obvious, but a man really appreciates it when you go out of your way to get him something he wants.

Bake him a cake. Like cooking dinner, it says a lot when you take the time to bake him something.

Make him a gift. If you take the time to make him something special, it means so much more than if you simply buy it.

Send him something romantic to his workplace. Maybe a bouquet of flowers isn’t right, but a balloon or even a silly singing telegram may be just the thing.

Make him a card. If you don’t think you have the talent to make him a gift, make him a card instead. The time and thought you put into it will show him how much you care.

Dance with him. Even it if just in the middle of your living room, a slow dance on his birthday can be very romantic.

Make him a book of romantic coupons that he can redeem anything throughout the year.

If he likes surprises, plan a surprise party for him.

Have a picnic in your backyard or in your bedroom. Think outside the box — picnics do not have to take place in parks.

Rent a romantic movie and snuggle with him on the couch. Even if he ‘s not into the film, he will be into the cuddling.

Do something that is uniquely yours as a couple.

Make plans to take him out to the venue of your first date.

Let him have a night out with the guys. He will appreciate the thoughtfulness, and most likely, he will come home early to be with you.

Surprise him by showing up at his workplace and taking him out for lunch.

Finally, wrap yourself up in your favorite lingerie and wait for him in the bedroom for him to get home. Be sure to set the mood with soft music and scented candles.
